I think Rises is equally personal, just told on a larger canvas. But BB and TDKR definitely are the two "Bruce" movies of the trilogy.

Definitely agree on the last part. While Bruce is definitely the main character in TDK, it does feel more like a Gotham City movie overall. I think TDKR feels like a Bruce movie, but they also try to put a lot of the Gotham City stuff in there as well. And in my opinion, that detracts from both sides of the story
